The cup body also includes an upper annular platform or a lower annular platform. The combination of the paper fastener and the paper cup lid effectively prevents beverage leakage from the sippy.

[0004] The aforementioned mechanism prevents beverage leakage by utilizing the cooperation between the latch and the cup lid, and the air vent helps to release air and prevent expansion. However, in actual use, the latch is not easy to fix, which affects the drinking of hot beverages. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a combined hot beverage cup lid to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when traditional hot beverage cup lids are used, hot air evaporates and is released, causing the top of the lid to expand and reducing the safety of the hot beverage cup lid during use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a combined hot beverage cup lid, comprising a lid body, wherein a drinking spout is provided on the right side of the lid body; a limiting strip is provided at the middle position of the top of the lid body; a leak-proof mechanism for covering the drinking spout is provided on the left side of the lid body; the leak-proof mechanism includes a middle connecting body, which is connected to the left side of the lid body via a connecting hinge; a combined cover is provided on the left side of the middle connecting body, and a drinking spout plug body is installed on the left side of the combined cover via a drinking spout plug hinge; a sealing buckle is provided on the side of the lid body; and an exhaust mechanism for preventing hot air expansion is provided at the top of the lid body.

[0007] Furthermore, the drinking spout body is adapted to the drinking spout, and the drinking spout is located inside the sealing buckle.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting strip is offset at the top of the cup lid body, and the lengths of the limiting strips are different.

[0009] Furthermore, the exhaust mechanism includes a vent hole, which is located at the top of the cup lid body and on the side of the limiting strip. A fragrance opening is provided at the middle position of the top of the combined lid, and the positions of the fragrance opening and the vent hole are offset from each other.

[0010] Furthermore, a limiting groove is provided at the top of the cup lid body, and a limiting block matching the limiting groove is provided at the top of the combined lid.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the combined cap is provided with a drinking spout plug, and the drinking spout plug is compatible with the drinking spout body.

[0012] Furthermore, both the front and rear ends of the top of the cup lid body are provided with blocking blocks, and the distance between the blocking blocks is less than the outer diameter of the combined lid.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. By first fastening the cup lid to the paper cup using the sealing buckle, and then combining the combination lid with the cup lid, the two are connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism, achieving a seal with the paper cup. By plugging the drinking spout with the spout stopper, the drinking spout is sealed to prevent leakage. The expanding hot air inside the cup is discharged through the vent on the cup lid and the aroma outlet on the combination lid, preventing the cup lid from expanding. When the consumer uses the cup, the aroma of the contents will waft out through the aroma outlet. When drinking, the drinking spout is opened by pulling the edge of the spout stopper upwards, and then it is locked in place by pulling it down further.

[0015] Furthermore, the lid itself can seal and protect the edge of the hot beverage cup, effectively reducing the chance of hot beverages spilling due to tipping or collision, and increasing the overall stability during use. At the same time, the drinking spout on the surface of the lid can be sealed and protected by the drinking spout stopper when not in use.

[0016] Furthermore, by providing vents on the surface of the lid, hot air can be expelled, preventing excessive pressure between the lid and the hot beverage cup. When the lid and the cup are locked together, the vent can further help expel the hot air, thus effectively maintaining a constant pressure inside the hot beverage cup.

[0017] 2. By utilizing the fit between the limiting block and the limiting groove, the position of the combination cover can be limited, preventing the combination cover from popping out during use.

[0018] Furthermore, the blocking block can restrict the position of the combined lid when it is popped out by hot air, so that even when the combined lid is popped out, its position will not shift too much. If the combined lid is pressed down to lock into place with the cup lid body, it can continue to seal and block, increasing safety during use. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6The technical solution shown addresses the problem of hot beverage leakage from the edge and drinking spout 2 when the lid body 1 is fastened to the hot beverage cup due to tipping. The disclosed modular hot beverage cup lid includes a leak-proof mechanism and a lid body 1 with a drinking spout 2 on its right side. A limiting strip 11 is positioned at the center of the top of the lid body 1. A leak-proof mechanism for blocking the drinking spout 2 is located on the left side of the lid body 1. The leak-proof mechanism includes a central connecting body 5, which is connected to the left side of the lid body 1 via a connecting hinge 15. A combined cover 6 is located on the left side of the central connecting body 5, and a drinking spout plug body 10 is installed on the left side of the combined cover 6 via a drinking spout plug hinge 9. The drinking spout plug body 10 is adapted to the drinking spout 2, which is located inside the sealing buckle 3. The limiting strip 11 is offset at the top of the lid body 1, and the lengths of the limiting strip 11 are different.

[0028] In this example, the cup lid body 1 is first fastened to the paper cup via the sealing buckle 3, and then the combination lid 6 is combined with the cup lid body 1. The two are connected by a snap-fit, which can achieve a seal with the paper cup. The drinking spout 8 is plugged to block the drinking spout 2, which can achieve a leak-proof seal. The expanding hot air inside the cup can be discharged through the vent hole 4 on the cup lid body 1 and the aroma port 7 on the combination lid 6, without causing the cup lid body 1 to expand. When the consumer uses it, the aroma port 7 will release the fragrance of the contents of the cup. When drinking, the drinking spout 2 can be opened by pulling up the edge of the drinking spout 8, and then it can be pulled down to fasten the drinking spout 8, which will then be fixed. The cup lid body 1 can seal and block the edge of the hot beverage cup, effectively reducing the possibility of hot beverages spilling due to tipping or collision, and increasing the overall stability during use. At the same time, the drinking spout 2 on the surface of the cup lid body 1 can be sealed and blocked by the drinking spout 10 when not in use.

[0029] Example 2: Figure 2 and Figure 3 The technical solution shown addresses the problem that traditional hot beverage cup lids release steam during use, causing the lid to expand and reducing safety. This combined hot beverage cup lid discloses an exhaust mechanism. A sealing buckle 3 is provided on the side of the lid body 1, and an exhaust mechanism to prevent steam expansion is provided at the top of the lid body 1. The exhaust mechanism includes a vent hole 4, which is located at the top of the lid body 1 and on the side of the limiting strip 11. An aroma-smelling opening 7 is provided at the middle of the top of the combined lid 6, and the aroma-smelling opening 7 is offset from the vent hole 4. A drinking spout plug 8 is provided at the top of the combined lid 6, and the drinking spout plug 8 is compatible with the drinking spout plug body 10.

[0030] In this example, when the lid 1 seals the top of the hot beverage cup, due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the air and other gases, such as water vapor, inside the lid will expand as the temperature rises. If the pressure generated by this expansion is large enough, it may overcome the sealing force between the lid and the cup, thus pushing the lid out. At the same time, the water in the hot beverage will evaporate into water vapor at high temperatures. The water vapor will accumulate inside the lid, creating a high-pressure environment. Under these circumstances, the lid 1 will also be pushed out by pressure. Once the lid 1 pops out, it can easily cause the hot beverage to spill. In order to prevent safety accidents caused by this, the lid body 1 is provided with a vent 4 on its surface to help release hot air and avoid excessive air pressure between the lid body 1 and the hot drink cup. When the combination lid 6 and the lid body 1 are locked together, the aroma port 7 can also help release the hot air released through the vent 4, thereby effectively keeping the air pressure inside the hot drink cup constant. In addition, the aroma port 7 will release the aroma of the contents of the cup, thus making the drinking experience of hot drinks better.

[0031] Example 3: Figures 2-5 The technical solution shown is designed to address the problem that the combined lid 6 may automatically pop out due to thermal expansion after being fastened: the combined hot beverage cup lid discloses a shielding and fastening mechanism. A limiting groove 14 is provided at the top of the cup lid body 1, and a limiting block 13 matching the limiting groove 14 is provided at the top of the combined lid 6. Both the front and rear ends of the top of the cup lid body 1 are provided with shielding blocks 12, and the distance between the shielding blocks 12 is less than the outer diameter of the combined lid 6.

[0032] In this example, when the combination lid 6 is fastened to the surface of the cup lid body 1, the position of the combination lid 6 can be limited by the fit between the limiting block 13 and the limiting groove 14, preventing the combination lid 6 from popping out during use. At the same time, there are blocking blocks 12 on the left and right sides of the surface of the cup lid body 1. The blocking blocks 12 can limit the position of the combination lid 6 when it is popped out by hot air expansion, so that even if the combination lid 6 is popped out, its position will not shift too much. If the combination lid 6 is pressed further to lock into place with the cup lid body 1, it can continue to seal and block, increasing the safety during use.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
